Southwest Virginia coalfields to Hampton Roads.
Railroads, which haul most of the coal in the state, are opposed, saying it would hurt their business and might have negative environmental impacts.
They say they are particularly concerned about the large amounts of water that would be mixed with the coal. The slurry mixture is then pumped through a pipeline.
The biggest recipient of campaign money from the pipeline lobbying groups was Sen. Kevin G. Miller (R26th).

Sen. Miller, whose district includes Rappahannock County and part of Fauquier, also got contributions from three companies that support the pipeline bill.
A.T. Massey Coal-PAC contributed $200 on Oct. 12, while Vepco’s Committee for Responsible Government gave him $200 on Oct. 11. He also received $250 on Oct. 18 from Trapsco Coal Co., his report showed.
